Drop Support Harness is a unique, upper body harness that wraps around the user’s waist,
chest, and torso, with an attached central handle running the length of the torso. The support
handle is a point of contact between the user of the harness and the person assisting the user
(“assistant”).
How it Works:
The assistant monitors the user for instability and in the event that the user begins to fall or
becomes unstable, the assistant must grab the support handle to provide steadying pressure to the
user’s upper body, helping them to regain stability in an upright position. If, in the event the user
is unable to regain stability, the assistant can use the support handle to slow the user’s descent to
the floor thus minimizing any safety problem from the fall.
Another benefit of Drop Support is that it limits the need to physically touch the user when
providing support. By limiting physical contact to the user through the means of the support
handle, the user is less likely to be injured from excessive force or pressure from the assistant
during a fall.
Drop Support is beneficial for in-home use when individual family members or medical
practitioners need a better method of providing drop support for family members. Some common
areas and uses are for individuals with:
• Individuals that suffer from medical conditions such as epilepsy that can result in falls or
instability
• Assist with standing and Patient Transfer
• Elderly who may be unstable and fall
• Individuals undergoing Rehab & Physical Therapy
• Individuals in Nursing Homes
• Much More
• Webbing/Harness material will soften with continued use
STRANGULATION HAZARD! Loose straps and harness loop openings present a potential
strangulation hazard. Keep out of reach of small children.
Do not place harness on back of chairs or other objects that are not bolted down or secured as
a child can pull on the harness and have the object fall on top of them, possibly resulting in
injury.
